Getting ahead of schedule but all the parts are in for my 2026 NAS are here except for the drives. I am going to do a longer form post regarding the build tomorrow.
So I have the base server, here is what I got
- HP Z440 Workstation 6-Core E5-1650 v4 3.6Ghz with 32GB of RAM and an NVS310
Looks like it is populated with 4 x 8GB DDR4 ECC RAM. So I can reasonably got to 64GB by adding 4 more later, but the goal is to go to 128GB of RAM. - For the OS I have two transcend 120GB SATA SSD
- The HBA is an LSI SAS9305-16e
- NIC is an Intel X520-DA2 (two 10GB SFP+), not I am thinking of going DAC but I already have SFP+ GBIC and fiber
- Parts for 2 JBOD
- Rack will be a GeeekPi 8U 10″ Cabinet
Going to be tight because this is just an 8U unit each JBOD will take 3 U and the ATX power supply takes 2U - I have a power supply for the JBOD
- GL.inet GL-RM1 with ATX Power control board
- UPS (will use existing one)
- Orico 2.5mm SSD to 3.5 HD Adapter
- StarTech 3 bay with in 2 slot
Also found some test drives around the house to play with the new JBOD.
